How to move dd from a bedside cot to her own room?

[dirtymonkey]

So I've finally got dd to sleep in her bedside cot.
We used to co-sleep it was alot easier, quicker and with less tears than we expected using Dr. Jay Gordon's technique.
She goes to sleep at about 8.30 and half wakes a few times but will usually resettle with just a shush/pat, finally at over a year old no more night feeds!
As it was soo easy am I kidding myself it will be that easy to get her into her own room.

How does your lo get to sleep in the first place? We did a gradual withdrawl thingy where we gradually reduced our closeness to him till he now will go to sleep in his own when I just kiss him say goodnight and walk out. He rarely wakes in the night but we do the shush / pat thing if he does and this works well. I found a gentle approach has worked well - even though it took a while because if he does ever need more closeness (due to illness, holidays, etc) we can repeat it with very few tears. When we moved him into his own room we started the gradual withdrawl technique and it has been great. As you seem to have established the routine already hopefully you won't have too many problems and as you have solved them in the past without too many tears you can repeat the process again.

Thanks Lori dd is bf then goes into the cot, most nights she is awake when i put her down.
Gradual retreat sounds like a good plan, sure it will be easier when she is in her cot properly not the bedside position.
I'd rather keep taking it slowly especially if it means less tears.

Sounds like you are half way there already dirtymonkey. My DS1 only ever went to sleep on the breast so it was quite a job teaching him to sleep without it. It took us a good long while but was well worth it.
